The Artificial Sneaker String Republic Bsided

It was Stephanie Bucco who created String Republic in order to showcase the results when graphic arts and daily life merge. This happens because she was a graphic artist. Hence, she was able to provide novel concepts that are worthy to find out.

Stephanie Bucco had presented a simle concept which can be seen in an old product like the espadrille. String Republic is proud to work together with graphic artists of all over the world and who gets occupied to tailor them.

BSIDED-that is the product. BSIDED is an "Artificial Sneakers" brand which has the advantage to be able to present the famous "Made in France", so praising the French know-how. BSIDED is between the traditional rope-soled sandals and a trendier and fashion touch with the sportswear side of the sneaker. Rope-soled sandals are accessories perceived as "has been" and the concept here is to revitalize them. The shoes are designed in the Basque Country, hand sewn by seamstresses home. They carry the major care to the selection of their fabrics doubled (cotton plus polyester printed in France). The sole is in rope braided to which they add one against rubber sole to harden and shield the bottom of the shoes while keeping the maximum of lightness and ease.
